THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

“And that young brown boys and girls can look at me and go, “Hey, he looks like me and he’s doing what?” And that’s great. I love that. But I also hope we are pushing the other direction that one day we don’t have to talk about these first. That one day this is just… And I… Listen to this. That this is the human history. It’s about human history. It’s the story of humanity. Not black history, not women’s history, but that it becomes human history.”

— Victor Glover, U.S. Navy Captain, veteran test, and Pilot of the Artemis II
